Overview

  • SM Entertainment confirmed Wednesday that Johnny, Taeyong, Yuta, Doyoung, Jaehyun, Jungwoo and Haechan have all renewed exclusive contracts with the company.
  • The renewals formalize NCT 127 as a seven-member unit after Mark left in April and Winwin departed earlier in July, ending public uncertainty about the group's composition.
  • SM and outlets say the group will release its seventh full-length album on August 24, which the company frames as the start of a 'new era' for NCT 127.
  • The group will launch the NEO CITY – THE REDLINE Asia tour with a three-night residency at Seoul’s KSPO DOME on September 18–20 and then visit major Asian venues through early 2027.
  • SM packages the contract renewals, album and tour into a yearlong 10th‑anniversary campaign called 'NCT 2026: Everything, All at Once,' and fans responded with widespread celebration online; in K-pop, public renewals are a standard signal that an act will remain active together under its agency.
